Show 2 Daily Herald FRIDAY, APRIL 17, 1964 Utah County, Utah Man Found Dead In Idaho Canal Great Cities—No. 2 Tokyo, Biggest City in the World, MayAlso Be Noisiest and Ugliest By EARNEST HOBERECHT United Press International TOKYO (UPI)—Tokyois the biggest city in the world. It is the noisiest. It may be the ugliest. With a population of almost 11 million, Tokyo is home to more people than inhabit the subcontinent of Australia. So chaotic is its traffic that at some majorintersections big yellow flags are stacked in _ boxes for pedestrians. They make their way across the streets with banners held high in sign of surrender to taxi drivers—most of whom are reputed to be old kamikazepilots. Tokyo is not only a city, or a way of life. It is a game. Few streets have names. House numbers are of little help because they signify the order in which they were built, not their position. No. 1 may be followed by No. 12 which is next to No. 4. Tokyo has trains that travel 100 m.p.h.It is a city of driving businessmen with branch offices in every principal city of the world. Right nowit is preparing for the October Olympic Games and a pace which might ordinarily be called frantic has escalated to hysteric. Had you seen Tokyo with your own eyes — as I did — in August of 1945, you would not have believed the city could rise again. I had talked a Navy pilot into flying me ashore from an American aircraft carrier and landed in Japan two days ahead of the late Gen. Douglas McArthur. Tokyo was a city of ashes. It had been 70 per cent destroyed by fire bombs. Millions Lose Homes Three million of the city’s then 5 million residents had lost their homes—770,000 houses in all. More than 100,000 were dead. Survivors, living in bomb shelters, listened dazedly to broadeasts announcing the defeat of imperial Japan. They crawled out to see the enormity of the damage to their city. Andtherein lies the answer to why Tokyo is one of the great cities of the world. It lies in the resiliency of the Japanese people. Unfortunately, reconstruction was not properly supervised. While there were many wonderful plans for the “new Tokyo,” mostof the rebuilding was done right on the old foundations. Hundreds of winding, tiny lanes survived. Modern office buildings are nestled up against 300year-old structures. Its great problem is growth. The population increases an average of 30,000 every month. A government commission has estimated that the population of Tokyo and its suburbs will total 28 million by 1975. It is a drab city, full of dull wood and not much paint. But {t is a city of neon and, at night when the advertising signs cometo life, it takes on a gay appearance. Even loyal Tokyoites admit their town looks a lot better at night when you can’t see it quite so well. Return After War Tokyo has a strange fascination for the visitor who takes the time to get off the beaten path. At the end of World War Il, the old Japanese hands— many of whom did a lot of complaining in the pre-war years—were the first to return. There are about 9,000 foreigners living in Tokyo today, far more than in any other Asian city. Cape Kennedy MishapFatal To Engineer body as he waited. Barry Keeps Up Attack on LBJ Policies STOCKTON, Calif. (UPI)— Sen. Barry Goldwater leveled another attack against the military policies of the Johnson administration Thursday—and tossed a personal challenge at seven members of the California legislature. The Republican presidential hopeful from Arizona, who completed a two-day tour of California and departed for Washington, accused the Defense Department of gambling recklessly with the national security by claiming the United States is increasing its military superiority over the Soviet Union. Earlier in Millbrae, Goldwater challenged the seven legislators, who are backing New York Gov. Nelson Rockefeller in the race for the GOP presidential nomination, to ‘‘call me a liar to my face.” The legislators announced Wednesday they would tour California to warn that extremists were attempting to take over the GOP in the state through the Goldwater cam- ; “There are some Republicans in this state who would rather see the party go down the drain than see meelected,” the Arizona senator said. “If they want to call me a liar, I wish they had the guts to call me a liar to my face.” Published at 190 West Fourth North Street every Lot of socks: The Departafternoon, Monday through Friday.

ROTHBLATT Most tourists would agree When Betty and Joe Bamby bought the Shelton that food is not one of the home, they thought they would get the new applithings that makes Tokyo a Reader's Court greatcity. First of all, you have to eat it sitting cross-legged on the floor with your shoes off. Foreigners have difficulty getting down on the floor gracefully— and even greater difficulty getting up. The food consists mainly of soups and seafood. Much of the fish is raw and this includes squid and octopus. You must— well, you should — eat with chopsticks. Foreigners usually find it hard to pick up food with the two wooden sticks the first time they use them. However, it doesn’t take long to get the knack. What, then, is the great attraction of Tokyo? What makes Tokyo a great city? It certainly is not beautiful. It is overcrowded. There are too many people, too many cars, too much of everything. Everyone complains about Tokyo, even those who were born here and have lived here all their lives. Whatis it? Why, it is the people of Tokyo. Utah Airman Dies From Burns MINOT AIR FORCE BASE, N.D.

Veterans of Bay of Pigs Invasion Mark Anniversary MIAMI (UPI) — Veterans of the Bay of Pigs invasion mark the third anniversary of that abortive fiasco today with both Cuban exiles and Fidel Castro looking to some possible new action against the Communist regime in Havana. A diplomatic assault or a resurgence of military efforts against Castro—or both — may be looming, judging from exile claims and Havana Radio reports. Premier Castro, still boasting of his defeat of Cuban invasion forces in a three-day battle in 1961, is observing the date with special ceremonies. Cuban exiles are generally marking the anniversary quietly. Members of Brigade 2506, the heart of the invasion force, will hold a memorial service tonight “for all Cubans who have died fighting against the Castro Communist regime.” The Castro regime and its thousands of Cuban exile foes are watching with equal interest an expected meeting of American foreign ministers to consider charges of aggression by Cuba against Venezuela. They also are waiting to see if Brazil will break relations with Havana following the recent ouster of the pro-Communist Joao Goulart government. These two possibilities on the diplomatic front are matched by a pledge of Military action in May by the Cuban Revolutionary Junta exile organization headed by Manola Ray which has said that its forces will be “fighting on Cuban soil” by May 20. 404 HISTORIC SITES The Department of the Interior has approved 404 sites to conserve natural resources and early history.

(UPI)— A $1.6 million libel suit by three ex-city commissioners and a city detective against the New York Times was back on the federal court docket today. The complaint was returned to the court after the U.S. 5th Circuit Court of Appeals. and the U.S. Supreme Court both upheld a ruling by district Judge H. H. Grooms that the suit could be filed against the newspaper in Alabama. The Times had moved for dismissal on the grounds that, since it does not do business in Alabama, it could not be sued in Alabama. But the courts ruled that Times does do business in Alabama, and refused to grant the motion. The suit, filed by ex-commissioners Eugene (Bull) Connor, James T. Wagner and James P. Morgan and detective Joe Lindsey, charges the Times libeled the plaintiffs in an article entitled “Fear and Hatred Grip Birmingham’’ published on April 12, 1960. Utah Office Equip. Ph.
